[QUOTE="TwistedFox, post: 1916837, member: 114059"] The most commonly accepted and cultivated term ELR has been recognized as match settings There are many cartridges that Never reach transonic or even subsonic within the confines of a match to Simply state that any cartridge reaching transonic distances is ELR does not fit the definition ELR. The problem is is everyone wants to be recognized as shooting ELR based on their ability or the ability of the cartridge or caliber.. That may apply or sound good but it's not the same because ELR by the industry has been defined as 1500 yards plus not out to or up to or close to 1500 yards I clearly accept and appreciate the idea of shooting a 22 long rifle past 500 or a 9 mm to 1000 yards Creedmoor to 1700 yards as extreme long range for that cartridge. To say that I F open or FTR but yet I have never attended one of those matches is false. To say I shoot FTR or the 300 Win Mag is false information because FTR is a match shooting 308 to say I shoot F open what they 375 CheyTac is also not correct because FTR is limited two under Point 358 caliber so with that to say that you shoot ELR or the 6-5 Creedmoor does not fit the parameters of the ELR competition currently the industry has accepted ELR 22 rimfire matches and 338 through 50 caliber [/QUOTE]
